GAY Beck + Palin = Sitting All Over America's Honor.

Maybe the standards to which we hold "public figures" are completely irrational.



Unless you're talking about Dan Quayle.

Look at the things we crucify them for, though. You can find articles in major newspapers on an almost daily basis villifying them for something as simple as misspeaking or making a typographical error on Twitter. I think our standards are ridiculous.

Not at all. Speaking occurs instantaneously. There is no taking back something if you mispronounce it, or state it incorrectly in a speech. What is heard cannot be unheard. 98% of the truly important aspects of leadership, however, occur in measured process behind closed doors. Making policy involves paperwork, editing, revising, re-editing, re-revising, and then editing and revising again.

Even now, on this message board, it's easy to not screw up something you say. You can simply hit the backspace key and retype it. Take away your ability to do so and see how stupid you seem, by your own standards. Obviously you aren't stupid, you simply make mistakes.

Being President is more than just writing policy, and spelling correctly. It's also decision making at it's ultimate.
